Orland Park Mayor's Golf Outing to Benefit Orland Park Nature Center

The Village of Orland Park's 2017 Mayor's Cup Golf Outing to benefit Open Lands of Orland Park is set for Tuesday, September 12 at Silver Lake Country Club in Orland Park.

Registration is now open and is limited to 144 golfers on a first come, first serve basis. The all-day outing includes a continental breakfast / check-in at 8:30 a.m. and a 9:30 a.m. shotgun start on the north course. The day also includes an on-course barbecue lunch featuring craft beers, a half-hour cocktail reception and a 4 p.m. dinner.

"The mayor's golf outing in Orland Park dates back a long time," said Mayor Keith Pekau. "I remember when Mayor Mel Doogan hosted 'Doogan Day' to raise money for the recreation department when I was a kid in the '70s."

Golf and dinner tickets are $130 per person and include 18 holes of golf, one-half cart, a continental breakfast, lunch on the course, cocktails, and dinner. Golf-only tickets are $100 per person and include 18 holes of golf, one-half cart, continental breakfast, and lunch on the course.

The on-course games include Head Start, Bang the Gong, Wine Bottles Low, and Speed Hole.

Sponsorships are available, including a $250 hole sponsor, a $350 continental breakfast sponsor, a $500 cocktail hour sponsor, a $1,000 lunch on the course sponsor, and an exclusive $1,000 golf cart sponsor.

Proceeds from this year's outing will benefit the Open Lands Commission.
